Happy Anniversary!

What a great night! Tommy and I didn't do gifts or anything for our anniversary but we wanted to plan a nice night out for us to have together. Since getting to Vegas it's been pretty crazy around here and of course being away from family, we don't get a sitter very often. So...after we put the kids to bed we had a friend from church come over and stay with the boys while we got to go out for a little bit. The first exciting part of the night for me was that we got to ride the Harley. Seriously...it's been like 2 years since I've been able to ride, due to being pregnant and all. So this was a treat. The weather couldn't have been better either.

We wanted to go to a nice romantic restaurant so we went to the "Eiffel Tower Restaurant", in Paris. (Yes, when you live in Vegas you can go anywhere in the world and it's only 10 minutes away) lol. The restaurant is like 1/2 way up the tower and our view was of the strip and the Bellagio fountains, which was perfect. Tommy ordered duck and I ordered the veal and we shared the asparagus. Wow, everything was sooo good. We finished with a chocolate soufle which was also amazing. Let me tell you...this was THE BEST meal I've ever had in my life. I could go on, but I think you get the point. lol.

We were going to go on the "ride" up to the top of the eiffel tower but we decided to wait until we had our camera with us so we could take pictures of the view. We did take the time to walk around and just hang out a bit and we walked through one of the casinos we hadn't been in yet. We went to do one of the gondola rides but it was closed when we got there. I was thankful for the time we had together and it was a great night. I loved the closeness and the night sky we enjoyed riding home on the Harley.

It was cool to celebrate our 9th anniversary here in Vegas, it's one I'll never forget. ;)
